Paul Wall, I'm the People's Champ
|
It ain't easy bein the People's Champ
|
It's the new me, new me, new me, new me...
|
True, a lot of struggles I done been through and still goin through
|
Let me show you what it's like to be me (Paul Wall, Paul Wall baby)
|
|
I'm not your average guy, I'm more than meets the eye
|
I know I'm friendly and fly, but let me tell you why
|
I was abandoned at an early age
|
My daddy was a dopefiend, I ain't seen him since the second grade
|
I sing the same song, deadbeat dad, single mom
|
I was always in the crawl, yet and still I was alone
|
I kept my faith in God, even in my younger days
|
I gave my life to Christ, got down on my knees and prayed
|
And God answered our prayers and momma remarried
|
All the burdens she carried, I must admit that it was scary
|
Somehow I got a real man as my father figure
|
Thangs started gettin better for my momma and my sister
|
Pain took me from a boy to a man
|
I knew I'd make it to the end if I could stick to the plan
|
People judge me off my music but they never even met me
|
But I'd introduce myself if you'd let me - Paul Wall baby
|
|
[Chorus: Paul Wall]
|
See I've been doin this here for a while
|
Eventually y'all boys gon' respect me dawg
|
I'm Paul Wall - until it's over I'ma ball 'til I fall
|
I'm the greatest in a minute ch'all
|
Let me tell you if you knew me (knew me) yeah the true me (true me)
|
Not the glamour and glitz that y'all do see (do see)
|
I'm just a regular G, I gotta do me (do me)
|
I'm 'bout to introduce y'all boys to the new me, c'mon
|
|
[Paul Wall]
|
It's more to me than all this glamour and glitz
|
I spent my whole life broke, I'm just tryin to get rich
|
I kept it real all my life, I never stepped on toes
|
But somehow my friends keep turnin into my foes
|
My ex keep callin me, but I don't wanna talk to her
|
So then she call the laws on me like I'm the one stalkin her
|
My new girl say I don't love her enough
|
But all the hatin friends jealous cause I love her too much
|
I'm drinkin bottles of Patron tryin to drink away my troubles
|
But bein an alcoholic only make thangs double
|
People judge me off my music but they never even met me
|
But I'd introduce myself if you'd let me - Paul Wall baby
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Paul Wall]
|
You think you know me mayne? But you don't know me mayne
|
Just because you shake my hand don't mean that you my homey mayne
|
It's people prayin on my downfall
|
And I can't understand why, cause I show love to alla y'all
|
People are grateful for the favors you show 'em
|
But when they need you for another one they still act like you owe 'em
|
Everybody be takin credit for somethin they ain't do
|
But you need to quit reachin and stand on your own two
|
I always stayed humble, I never once changed
|
I never got a ego or a big head cause of fame
|
People judge me off my music but they never even met me
|
But I'd introduce myself if you'd let me - Paul Wall baby
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Paul Wall]
|
I'm Paul Wall, I'm the People's Champ
|
But it ain't easy bein me
|
I done put in my fair share of work, blood, sweat, and tears, f'real...
|
Passin out flowers at the club
|
Doin freestyles that don't go on mixtapes
|
I ain't understand it then but, now I understand it
|
It's a bigger picture than just what you think
|
You gotta think outside the box and try to make it
|
It's chess moves, not checkers baby
|
